Lyrics:
They want me to change
From the clothes that I wear
To the style of my hair
They think that I'm strange
Kicking up a fuss
Just be more like us
This ain't my place
There's rules to the clique
Just do what they say
And do it their way
Don't be unique
You better take heed
Just to follow their lead
Become a sheep
So I'm leaving you behind
Your request has been declined
Cos I'm happy in my three stripes
Chubby thighs in skinny jeans
And I love to rock my converse
You can judge me by all means
But if what is on the outside
Is what matters most to you
Let's not waste our time hanging out
I've got better things to do
I'll never fit in
They want me to try
But I'm happy as pie
In my own skin
For the good of my health
I'll stay true to myself
So stop whining
I think that you'll find
You can't change how I'm designed
Cos I'm happy in my three stripes
Chubby thighs in skinny jeans
And I love to rock my converse
You can judge me by all means
But if what is on the outside
Is what matters most to you
Let's not waste our time hanging out
I've got better things to do
Surely it's what's in your heart that matters
As long as we are kind to others
Surely it's what's in your heart that matters
As long as we are kind to others
So I'm leaving you behind
Your request has been declined
Cos I'm happy in my three stripes
Chubby thighs in skinny jeans
And I love to rock my converse
You can judge me by all means
But if what is on the outside
Is what matters most to you
Let's not waste our time hanging out
I've got better things to do - Hudba
Love this sophie and recently listened to your radio interview 2023 . Your story and your mission to educate now is inspiring. We are just souls needing connection, love and understanding ❤. Xx
Thank you so much!! We are just souls - that it so true 😊xx
Your interview touched my mind, my heart and my soul. Knowing someone like you exists is personally encouraging when I think about the sad direction humanity has been going for too long. I'd like to hear more from your corner. You're amazing. :)
Here after listening to your interview 2023, thank you for sharing your story, thoughts and music. Hope that your experience is heard and valued at this important time. Sending ❤ and thanks x
So kind, thank you so much! Hopefully if we can get a few more loud voices, we can start to drive some much needed change in the world.
Thanks so much for stopping by and listening to my music!:)
Thank you!
Thank you too!
Here from The Times interview too! Great lyrics!!
Thanks for the kind words! Spotted you on the Times thread too... thanks for the support..means the absolute world!:)
@@SophieOtts don't think I'm alone when I say, I really appreciate you!!
Amazing interview, thanks for sharing your story, it's important. Like your music, hope this gets your music some attention, really like the lyrics... they're exactly what young people need to hear. Nobody needs to be a sheep or put into a box to just suit others... It's our differences that make the world interesting. A world of Stepford clones would be horrific.
I thought I recognised your name! I've been sat here thinking for a few minutes and remembered you from one of your interviews, never knew you did music!
Sounds fantastic by the way! 👏🎶❤
Just saw your radio interview 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼God bless you! Beautiful song! You will do awesome keep it up Sophie and by the way this song brought me to tears
Don't cry - I'm alright! Life is good.. we just gotta try and change the future for others now.
Have a lovely weekend and thanks for checking out my tunes!:)
Yes it's what's in our hearts that matters as long as we are kind to each others, and ourselves! one love xx you rock xx
Thank you!!!:)
the fact that this video was made 3 years prior to your interviews is unbelieveable. especially listening to the lyrics you carefully crafted. the forgiveness you gave your parents and your situation is admirable. im far from the gender situation issue, i have my own life problems, but your strength! what an inspiration! you master what life has thrown at you and make it yours, and yours alone. you have all the rights and reasons to be a ball of fire wrecking havoc, but in interviews you choose to be the vast universe calmingly saying "its okay, there's a place for everything. lets do our best, lets make the most..."
That's such a lovely message - so kind!! Thank you so much:)
Your interview... priceless, your understanding and emotional maturity is a testament to the journey or the soul, Lovely person you are~!
Thank you for the lovely kind words! :)
Great interview. Thanks for speaking up and out. I love this song, too! fantastic , ❤
Amazing voice and words!! Please, keep up the good work :)
Thank you!! So kind!
Just saw your interview on The Times CZcams channel, WOW!! You are a hero! Praising God you found a way through! You ARE a beautiful soul and your courage literally brought me to tears. This IS your purpose, “For such a time as this”!! God had devined your purpose and you’re rising to it!!! Bravo!! praying for you!! Love the 🎶 btw ❤
Thank you soooo much!!! You rock!:)
Hi Sophie. I just saw an interview with you and Times Radio. I’d just like to say Thank You so very much for sharing your life’s journey. I believe it is very timely given what is going on with gender affirming….I’ll call it … agenda. You made so many fantastic points that I believe are completely bypassed be the medical professionals in this field.
The point you made about people are souls living in a shell (body) is so profound and I believe the truth. Our souls live on to eternity. It resides in a body, the body having the sole purpose of carrying our souls as we live on this earth… until we move on to the next phase of our lives.
There is so much to say about this specific point, however, I’ll stop here to comment on your other points.
Another point you made was that people thinking they may be a different gender should consider looking at what is going on within themselves emotionally, psychologically, etc (I’m paraphrasing) before taking on irreversible physical changes.
Also, allowing individuals in this situation to decide for themselves.
I am a mother of two now adult children. For a moment, I placed myself in your parents spot. I honestly don’t know what I would have done.
It would be highly probable I would follow the medical professional’s advice with the INTENT of doing what is best for my child.
Again, thank you for speaking for frankly, so honestly, so courageously and genuinely. You are a voice of reason, logic and common sense and in a very special way, a voice of compassion and charity for individuals who are struggling with these such issues.
May God continue to bless you, guide you and continue to ignite the fire of love and compassion in your heart.
Thank you for your lovely words Fatima!:)
Love your music, where can we find more?
I’ll have to write some!🤣
Thanks so much for the kind words!:)
@@SophieOtts please do! I'm Scottish and I love to hear people sing in their regional accents. I also love the straight talkin' lyrics.
Didn't you refuse an offer to fix the surgical hack job? If you can't go back, why not just embrace who you are?
Please just go and do something with your life that isn’t bullying a person who is just trying help others.
@@SophieOtts Ditto my friend. Sorry you took my comment as bullying.
@@raffafan it was more the comment on the other video that annoyed me! Anyway, no hard feelings - have a good week :)
@@SophieOtts you should take that comment more seriously than this one before you leave London and can't get back.
